This area north of the Town is of particular concern of local residents, the province and the regional district – each with a slightly different concern or suggested remedy.

I will not define the problem as much of it is self evident on TV, Newspaper, or on-line articles that try to inform.

Here is one stream of thought, an opinion, a possible solution:

A plebiscite will be necessary to engage all residents and landowners in Area C RDOS

That public vote should be held this fall….

It should ask a simple question – are you in favour of a RDOS service for flood control for all of Rural Area C RDOS?

Proposed cost to be a parcel tax not one based on assessed values.

If passed by the electorate – then RDOS could apply for grants to fix flooding problems in that rural region caused by nature’s undetermined intentions.

Meaning those man made flooding would be treated differently.

Now I could go on and on – with regard to areas that need fixing and those that the provincial government has already made great progress on.

Would the grants be large? Would tax payers have to pay a lot? I do not have those answers.

BUT – this would be a start.
